Symptoms:

Customer asking for the MD5 checksum or SHA256 checksum of the Zerto installer

Cause:

MD5 checksum is more common for software verification.

Solution:

use the windows certutil to generate SHA512 checksum

for example:
SHA512 that we normally recommend to use as it is more accurate and harder to manipulate
see the below how to get it:
C:\>certutil -hashfile "Zerto Virtual Replication VMware Installer.exe" SHA512
SHA512 hash of Zerto Virtual Replication VMware Installer.exe:
